Quite frankly, I still find MEmacs supplied on the "extras" disk
to be a good all-around editor. It does support 'c' mode, which means
it checks for matching brackets. Goto line number and search (or
search/replace) are also implemented. All of the function keys are
programmable and macros are supported as well. Your own startup
configuration can be saved so it can start in that setup every time.

Best of all since it's located on the extras disk, it's been immediately
available to you all along.
